Heritage Park is the concept for a comprehensive community recreational, cultural, and educational facility with a central focus on Michigan’s history and heritage. The grounds of the park will be laid out in the shape of our great state with water features in the areas where the great lakes are. This park is to be located on the site of the former GM metal stamping plant. http://heritageparkcreationfund.webs.com/outdoorattractions.htm Currently in the concept stage, we are in need of conceptual artwork to convey the vision without using 1,000 words. Any artist, CAD operator or urban design planner who is willing to be a part of making the future happen, should contact me.

The Legacy Buy A- Brick for the Village of Hope Project The Village of Hope project builds small three bedroom ranches in 53 African villages to support poor families who in turn support orphaned children. Each community will contain 100 houses. In addition, these sustainable communities will contain an Educational Center, Health Clinic, Industrial Center, Community Center and Community Gardens. Micro financing provides the residents money to start cottage industries. Boreholes supply water to the village. We also serve the homeless in Michigan.

Camp Casey is a horseback riding program for children with cancer and their families. We have three divisions: retreats (where families take a mini vacation and utilize the therapeutic effects of horses), outreach (where kids and families enjoy seasonal activities like pumpkin patches, apple orchards, ice skating, etc.) and horsey house calls (where we bring a horse to the home of a kid too sick to attend a retreat). For our Horsey House Call program, we are looking for goodies to enhance the surprise. We like to shower the kid and his/her siblings with gifts so that the day feels extra special. We're especially in need of arts and crafts supplies, stuffed animals, board games, kid-friendly DVDs, hats and mittens for cold visits, and anything else that a child would like. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to volunteer to attend a Horsey House Call.

Stepeze Inc. is launching an exciting, multicultural Drill Team and Dance Troop. These talented, energetic kids are EXCITED about this unique opportunity to be trained to become productive members of society and have a blast doing it. The program is FREE for these at-risk kids!!! The City of Pontiac has NOTHING to offer them creating a danger of getting into negative activites after school, so we need support. Stepeze has a proven program, and plans to build it up over the school year and launch our First Day-Camp Drill Team & Dance Troop Camp in summer 2009. We also plan to perform at the Pontiac Parade this fall, but we need uniforms and equipment. Visit: www.stepezedevelopsyouth.com
